1A of Part I of the 2023 Annual Report. See the section titled &#147;Where You Can Find More Information.&#148; Before making a decision to invest in the mortgage bonds, you should carefully consider these risks, as well as other information
contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Risks Relating to the

our real property and certain tangible personal property related to our facilities. As of December&nbsp;31, 2023, we had approximately $41.90&nbsp;billion of indebtedness and letters of credit outstanding secured on a<I>&nbsp;pari
passu</I><I></I>&nbsp;basis by the collateral securing our first mortgage bonds (including first mortgage bonds securing our credit facilities). If we are entitled to incur any additional mortgage bonds in accordance with the incurrence limitations
in the Mortgage Indenture and we do so (including to serve as collateral for other debt), the holders thereof will be entitled to share ratably with you in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization,
dissolution or other winding up of our company. Given the extensive number of real properties subject to the lien of the Mortgage Indenture, certain provisions of California law that limit enforcement of remedies and the requirement for certain
approvals for property transfers from regulatory authorities, we cannot assure you that the collateral securing the first mortgage bonds can be readily sold following an acceleration of maturity of the mortgage bonds, or that the proceeds of any
such sale would be sufficient to satisfy amounts due on the mortgage bonds and any other debt secured by the collateral in full or at all. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The

letters of credit outstanding. Substantially all of our outstanding indebtedness, including the mortgage bonds hereby, is secured by substantially all of our real property and certain tangible personal property related to our facilities. In
addition, as of December&nbsp;31, 2023, Corp had approximately $4.65&nbsp;billion of additional indebtedness outstanding. Because we are Corp&#146;s primary subsidiary, we expect that Corp will look to dividends from us to satisfy its debt
obligations. See &#147;Capitalization&#148; for more information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Since we have such a high level of debt, a substantial portion of cash
flow from operations will be used to make payments on this debt. Furthermore, since a significant percentage of our assets is used to secure this debt, this reduces the amount of collateral available for future secured debt or credit support and
reduces our flexibility in operating these secured assets. This relatively high level of debt and related security could have other important consequences for us, including: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

the mortgage bond will state the portion of the principal amount of the mortgage bond to be redeemed. A new mortgage bond in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the mortgage bond will be issued in the name of the holder of the

of all or substantially all of the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage Indenture will not be required to be a lien upon any of the properties then owned or thereafter acquired by the successor corporation except properties acquired from us in or as a
result of that transaction, to the extent not constituting Excepted Property, and improvements, extensions and additions to those properties and renewals, replacements and substitutions of or for any part or parts thereof. In addition,
after-acquired property may be subject to liens existing or placed thereon at the time of acquisition thereof, including, but not limited to, purchase money liens, and, in certain circumstances, liens attaching to the property prior to the recording
or filing of an instrument specifically subjecting the property to the lien of the Mortgage Indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Mortgage Indenture provides
that the Mortgage Trustee shall have a lien, prior to the mortgage bonds, on the Mortgaged Property and on all other property and funds held or collected by the Mortgage Trustee, other than property and funds held in trust for the payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest on the mortgage bonds, as security for the payment of the Mortgage Trustee&#146;s reasonable compensation and expenses, and as security for the performance by us of our obligation to indemnify the Mortgage
Trustee against certain liabilities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Without the consent of the holders, we and the Mortgage Trustee may enter into supplemental
indentures in order to subject additional property to the lien of the Mortgage Indenture (including property which would otherwise be Excepted Property). This property would thereupon constitute Property Additions (so long as it would otherwise
qualify as Property Additions as described below) and be available as a basis for the issuance of additional first mortgage bonds. See &#147;&#151;Issuance of Additional First Mortgage Bonds.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will issue a portion of the mortgage bonds under the Mortgage Indenture based upon the value of Property Additions constituting Unfunded

created thereby and within 120 days following the date of such instrument, provide the Mortgage Trustee an opinion stating that the Supplemental Indenture (or a memorandum thereof) have been so recorded and filed. The Company has delivered the
opinion of Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP dated February&nbsp;23, 2024 as to the recording and filings of instruments prior to such date. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Excepted

its participants whose clients have purchased the mortgage bonds. Each participant will then keep a record of its clients. Unless it is exchanged in whole or in part for a certificated security, a global security may not be transferred. DTC, its
nominees and their successors may, however, transfer a global security as a whole to one another, and these transfers are required to be recorded on our records or a register to be maintained by the Mortgage Trustee. The laws of some jurisdictions

the New York Banking Law, a member of the United States Federal Reserve System, a &#147;clearing corporation&#148; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a &#147;clearing agency&#148; registered under the provisions of
Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. DTC holds securities that its direct participants deposit with DTC. DTC also records the settlements among direct participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in
deposited securities through computerized records for direct participants&#146; accounts. This eliminates the need to exchange certificated securities. Direct participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When you purchase mortgage bonds through the DTC system, the purchases must be made by or through a direct participant, which will receive
credit for the mortgage bonds on DTC&#146;s records. When you actually purchase the mortgage bonds, you will become their beneficial owner. Your ownership interest will be recorded only on the direct or indirect participants&#146; records. DTC will
have no knowledge of your individual ownership of the mortgage bonds. DTC&#146;s records will show only the identity of the direct participant and the amount of the mortgage bonds held by or through them. You will not receive a written confirmation
of your purchase or sale or any periodic account statement directly from DTC. You should instead receive these from your direct or indirect participant. As a result, the direct or indirect participants are responsible for keeping accurate account of
the holdings of their customers. The Mortgage Trustee will wire payments on the mortgage bonds to DTC&#146;s nominee. The Mortgage Trustee and we will treat DTC&#146;s nominee as the owner of each global security for all purposes. Accordingly, the
Mortgage Trustee, any paying agent and we will have no direct responsibility or liability to pay amounts due on a global security to you or any other beneficial owners in that global security. Any redemption notices will be sent by us directly to
DTC, which will, in turn, inform the direct participants (or the indirect participants), which will then contact you as a beneficial holder. </P>

Clearstream Banking S.A. (&#147;Clearstream&#148;), which are two European book-entry depositaries similar to DTC, to facilitate the initial issuance of the mortgage bonds sold outside of the United States of America and cross-market transfers of

the account of a DTC participant to the account of a Clearstream participant or a Euroclear participant, the purchaser must send instructions to Clearstream or Euroclear through a participant at least one day prior to settlement. Clearstream or
Euroclear, as the case may be, will instruct its U.S. agent to receive mortgage bonds against payment. After settlement, Clearstream or Euroclear will credit its participant&#146;s account. Credit for the mortgage bonds will appear on the next day

procedures for sending mortgage bonds to the relevant U.S. agent acting for the benefit of Clearstream or Euroclear participants. The sale proceeds will be available to the DTC seller on the settlement date. As a result, to the DTC participant, a
cross-market transaction will settle no differently than a trade between two DTC participants. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When a Clearstream or Euroclear
participant wishes to transfer mortgage bonds to a DTC participant, the seller will be required to send instructions to Clearstream or Euroclear through a participant at least one Business Day prior to settlement. In these cases, Clearstream or
Euroclear will instruct its U.S. agent to transfer these mortgage bonds against payment for them. The payment will then be reflected in the account of the Clearstream or Euroclear participant the following day, with the proceeds back-valued to the
value date, which would be the preceding day, when settlement occurs in New York. If settlement is not completed on the intended value date, that is, the trade fails, proceeds credited to the Clearstream or Euroclear participant&#146;s account will
instead be valued as of the actual settlement date. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following discussion summarizes certain material United States (&#147;U.S.&#148;) federal income tax considerations relevant to the
purchase, ownership and disposition of the mortgage bonds. This summary only applies to investors who will hold their mortgage bonds as &#147;capital assets&#148; under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Internal Revenue
Code&#148;) and purchase their 2053 mortgage bonds for cash pursuant to this offering at the price set forth for such 2053 mortgage bonds on the front cover of this prospectus supplement or purchase the 20&#8195;mortgage bonds and the
20&#8195;mortgage bonds for cash upon initial issuance at the &#147;issue price&#148; (the first price at which a substantial amount of the mortgage bonds is sold for money to investors, not including bond houses, brokers or similar persons or
organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This summary is based upon current U.S. federal
income tax law, which is subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their
individual circumstances, such as investors subject to special tax rules (e.g., financial institutions (including banks), insurance companies, expatriates, broker dealers, real estate investment trusts (&#147;REITs&#148;), regulated investment
companies, traders in securities who elect a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mark-to-market</FONT></FONT> method of tax accounting, tax exempt organizations, persons that will hold the mortgage bonds as a part of a
straddle, conversion, constructive sale or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, investors subject to section 451(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes or investors therein, or U.S. Holders (as defined below) that have a &#147;functional currency&#148; other than the U.S. dollar), all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ materially from those summarized below. This summary
does not discuss any alternative minimum tax consequences, and it does not discuss all of the aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to you in light of your particular investment or other circumstances. We are not planning to
seek a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (&#147;IRS&#148;) regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the mortgage bonds. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not
successfully challenge one or more of the conclusions stated herein. Each prospective investor is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax considerations of the purchase,
ownership or disposition of the mortgage bonds. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For purposes of this summary, a &#147;U.S. Holder&#148; is a beneficial owner of a
mortgage bond that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (1)&nbsp;an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (2)&nbsp;a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District
of Columbia, (3)&nbsp;an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source or (4)&nbsp;a trust, if (a)&nbsp;a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more
&#147;United States persons&#148; within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code control all substantial trust decisions or (b)&nbsp;the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United
States person. A beneficial owner of a mortgage bond that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder is referred to herein as
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">a&nbsp;&#147;Non-U.S.&nbsp;Holder.&#148;</FONT> </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership
for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a beneficial owner of mortgage bonds, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of such partnership. A partnership considering
an investment in the mortgage bonds, and partners in such a partnership, are urged to consult their tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax considerations of purchasing, owning and disposing of the mortgage bonds. </B></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is expected that this offering of the 2053 mortgage bonds will meet the requirements for a &#147;qualified reopening&#148; of the existing
2053 mortgage bonds under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. Debt instruments issued as part of the &#147;qualified reopening&#148; of a previous issue of debt instruments are treated as part of the original issue and, consequently, are deemed to
have the same issue date and the same issue price as the original debt instruments. Accordingly, we expect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the 2053 mortgage bonds will have the same issue price and issue date as the existing 2053
mortgage bonds and will not be considered to be issued with &#147;original issue discount.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Interest </I></B></P>

less than a de minimis amount of, original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under the qualified reopening rules of United States federal income tax law, a debt instrument issued in a qualified reopening will have the same
original issue discount, if any, as the related debt instrument issued in the original offering. Because the existing 2053 mortgage bonds were not issued with original issue discount, the 2053 mortgage bonds offered hereby will not be treated as
issued with original issue discount for United States federal income tax purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Accordingly, interest on a mortgage bond will
generally be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time it is paid or accrued, in accordance with the U.S. Holder&#146;s regular method of tax accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes (not including <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-acquisition</FONT> accrued interest, as described below). A portion of the price paid for the 2053 mortgage bonds will be allocable to interest that accrued prior to the date such mortgage bonds are purchased <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(&#147;pre-acquisition</FONT> accrued interest&#148;). To the extent that a portion of a U.S. Holder&#146;s purchase price for the 2053 mortgage bonds is allocable to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-acquisition</FONT>
accrued interest, a portion of the first stated interest payment equal to the amount of such <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-acquisition</FONT> accrued interest may be treated as a nontaxable return of such

be treated as acquiring the 2053 mortgage bond with amortizable bond premium. For this purpose, the initial purchase price of such 2053 mortgage bond will not include amounts paid in respect of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-acquisition</FONT>
accrued interest as described above. A U.S. Holder that acquires a 2053 mortgage bond with amortizable bond premium may elect to amortize the premium, under a constant yield method, over the term of such mortgage bond, which will reduce the amount
of interest income with respect to such mortgage bond required to be included in the U.S. Holder&#146;s gross income. Because of the optional redemption feature of the 2053 mortgage bonds, however, special rules apply that may reduce, eliminate or
defer the amount of bond premium, if any, that may be amortized. An election to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable debt instruments then owned by the U.S. Holder and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. If a U.S. Holder does
not elect to amortize the premium, that premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss that would otherwise be recognized on disposition of the 2053 mortgage bonds. </P>

or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized on the disposition and the U.S. Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in such mortgage bonds. The amount realized will include the amount of any cash and the fair market
value of any property received for the mortgage bonds (except any amount received that is attributable to accrued but unpaid interest (other than any amount attributable to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-acquisition</FONT> accrued interest)

holding company), as a beneficial owner or as an intermediary, this tax generally will be imposed, subject to certain exceptions, unless such institution (i)&nbsp;has agreed to (and does) comply with the requirements of an agreement with the United
States (an &#147;FFI Agreement&#148;) or (ii)&nbsp;is required by (and does comply with) applicable foreign law enacted in connection with an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and a foreign jurisdiction (an &#147;IGA&#148;) to,
among other things, collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities or other relevant tax authorities certain information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution and, in either case, such institution provides the withholding agent with a
certification as to its FATCA status. In the case of payments made to a foreign entity that is not a financial institution (as a beneficial owner), the tax generally will be imposed, subject to certain exceptions, unless such entity provides the
withholding agent with a certification as to its FATCA status and, in certain cases, identifies any &#147;substantial&#148; U.S. owner (generally, any specified U.S. person that directly or indirectly owns more than a specified percentage of such
entity). If a mortgage bond is held through a foreign financial institution that has agreed to comply with the requirements of an FFI Agreement or is subject to similar requirements under applicable foreign law enacted in connection with an IGA,
such foreign financial institution (or, in certain cases, a person paying amounts to such foreign financial institution) generally will be required, subject to certain exceptions, to withhold tax on payments made to (i)&nbsp;a person (including an
individual) that fails to provide any required information or documentation or (ii)&nbsp;a foreign financial institution that has not agreed to comply with the requirements of an FFI Agreement and is not subject to similar requirements under
applicable foreign law enacted in connection with an IGA. In addition, regulations proposed by the U.S. Treasury Department would eliminate the requirement under FATCA of withholding on gross proceeds (other than payments of interest) of the
disposition of the mortgage bonds, which would otherwise apply. The U.S. Treasury Department has stated that taxpayers may rely on these proposed regulations pending their finalization. We will not be obligated to make any &#147;gross up&#148; or
additional payments in respect of amounts withheld on the mortgage bonds if we determine that we must so withhold in order to comply with FATCA in respect of the amounts described above. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors
regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in the mortgage bonds. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The preceding discussion of

are not meant to be a complete description of each security. This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement will contain the material terms and conditions for each security. The accompanying prospectus supplement may add, update or
change the terms and conditions of the securities as described in this prospectus. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Holding Company Structure </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">PG&amp;E Corporation conducts its operations primarily through its subsidiaries and substantially all of its consolidated assets are held by
its subsidiaries. Accordingly, PG&amp;E Corporation&#146;s cash flow and its ability to meet its obligations under its debt securities are largely dependent upon the earnings and cash flows of its subsidiaries and the distribution or other payment
of these earnings and cash flows to PG&amp;E Corporation in the form of dividends or loans or advances and repayment of loans and advances from the Utility. PG&amp;E Corporation&#146;s subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have
no obligation to pay any amounts due on its debt securities or to make any funds available for payment of amounts due on these debt securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because PG&amp;E Corporation is a holding company, its obligations under its debt securities will be structurally subordinated to all existing
and future liabilities of its subsidiaries, including all the existing and future liabilities of the Utility. Therefore, the rights of PG&amp;E Corporation and its creditors, including the rights of the holders of its debt securities, to participate
in the assets of any subsidiary upon the liquidation or reorganization of the subsidiary will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary&#146;s creditors. To the extent that PG&amp;E Corporation is itself a creditor with recognized claims
against any of its subsidiaries, its claims would still be effectively subordinated to any security interest in, or mortgages or other liens on, the assets of the subsidiary and would be subordinated to any indebtedness or other liabilities of the
subsidiary that are senior to the claims held by PG&amp;E Corporation. </P>

Note Indenture Trustees&#148;), to be supplemented by supplemental indentures establishing the secured senior notes of each series. The unsecured senior note indenture, as amended or supplemented from time to time, is referred to herein as the
&#147;Unsecured Senior Note Indenture.&#148; The secured senior note indenture, as amended or supplemented from time to time, is herein referred to as the &#147;Secured Senior Note Indenture,&#148; and together with the Unsecured Senior Note

or applicable to one or more issuances of unsecured senior notes or secured senior notes, as the case may be, in connection with future issuances of other senior notes. </P>

prospectus concerning the senior notes and the Senior Note Indentures is only a summary of the information provided in those documents, and the summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Senior Note Indentures,
including the form of applicable senior notes attached thereto. You should consult the applicable form of the senior notes themselves and the applicable Senior Note Indenture for more complete information on the senior notes as they, and not this
prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement, govern your rights as a holder. The Secured Senior Note Indenture and the form of the Unsecured Senior Note Indenture are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part. The terms of the senior notes will include those stated in the Senior Note Indentures and those made a part of the Senior Note Indentures by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or the Trust Indenture Act. Certain
capitalized terms used in this prospectus are defined in the applicable Senior Note Indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In this section, references to

be issued as unsecured senior debt securities under the Unsecured Senior Note Indenture and will rank equally with all other future unsecured and unsubordinated debt of the Company. The unsecured senior notes will be effectively subordinated to all
secured debt of the Company, including the secured senior notes. The secured senior notes will be issued as secured senior debt securities under the Secured Senior Note Indenture and will rank equally with all other future secured senior notes of
the Company. Neither Senior Note Indenture limits the aggregate principal amount of senior notes that may be issued under such Senior Note Indenture and each Senior Note Indenture provides that senior notes may be issued from time to time in one or
more series pursuant to a supplemental indenture to such Senior Note Indenture. The Senior Note Indentures give us the ability to reopen a previous series of senior notes and issue additional senior notes of such series, unless otherwise provided.

Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the &#147;Mortgage Trustee&#148;), to be supplemented by a supplemental indenture to the mortgage indenture establishing the first mortgage bonds of each series. The indenture, as amended or

concerning the first mortgage bonds and the Mortgage Indenture is only a summary of the information provided in those documents, and the summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Mortgage Indenture, including the
forms of first mortgage bonds attached thereto. You should consult the first mortgage bonds themselves and the Mortgage Indenture for more complete information on the first mortgage bonds as they, and not this prospectus or any applicable prospectus
supplement, govern your rights as a holder. The Mortgage Indenture is included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The Mortgage Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as

the &#147;capital stock&#148;). The following description is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable law, our amended and restated articles of incorporation (the &#147;Amended Articles&#148;) and amended and
restated bylaws (the &#147;Amended Bylaws&#148;). In this section, references to &#147;we&#148;, &#147;our&#148;, &#147;ours&#148; and &#147;us&#148; refer only to PG&amp;E Corporation and not to any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or

February&nbsp;14, 2024, there were approximately 2,611,366,666 shares of our common stock, no par value, outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. </P>

stock from time to time upon such terms and for such consideration as may be determined by our board of directors. Such further issuances, up to the aggregate amounts authorized by the Amended Articles, will not require approval by our shareholders.
We may also issue common stock from time to time under dividend reinvestment and employee benefit plans. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Amended Articles restrict

(the &#147;Voting Restrictions&#148;). Except as otherwise provided by law (including Section&nbsp;703(b) of the California Corporations Code, which states that shares of a corporation owned by its subsidiary shall not be entitled to vote on any
matter), holders of our common stock have voting rights on the basis of one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders, subject to any class or series voting rights of holders of our preferred stock. Our
shareholders may not cumulate votes in elections of directors. As a result, the holders of our common stock and (if issued) preferred stock entitled to exercise more than 50% of the voting rights in an election of directors can elect all of the
directors to be elected if they choose to do so. In such event, the holders of the remaining common stock and preferred stock voting for the election of directors will not be able to elect any persons to the board of directors. </P>

if and when declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor; provided, however, that if any subsidiary of ours is the holder of record of shares of our common stock as of the record date for the payment of any dividend of
cash or property (other than a dividend of shares of PG&amp;E Corporation) to the holders of our common stock, that subsidiary shall not be entitled to receive payment of any such dividend, and we shall automatically and without any further action
be entitled to retain any such dividend that would otherwise be payable to our subsidiary in respect of such shares. &#147;Subsidiary&#148; means a corporation shares of which possessing more than 50&nbsp;percent of the voting power are owned

purchase arrangements with one or more parties pursuant to which such parties will purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such subscription rights offering. In connection with a subscription rights offering to our

with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among its participants of securities transactions, including transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants&#146; accounts, which
eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. &#147;Direct participants&#148; in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation (&#147;DTCC&#148;). DTCC is the holding company for DTC National Securities Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTC is owned by the
users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, referred to as &#147;indirect participants,&#148; that clear transactions through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant either
directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Purchases of securities within the DTC
system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for those securities on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser of a security, which we sometimes refer to as a &#147;beneficial
owner,&#148; is in turn recorded on the direct and indirect participants&#146; records. Beneficial owners of securities will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written
confirmations providing details of their transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which they purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in global securities are to
be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the global securities except under the limited
circumstances described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To facilitate subsequent transfers, all global securities deposited by direct participants with DTC will
be registered in the name of DTC&#146;s partnership nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co, or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp;
Co. or such other nominee do not affect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the
securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The direct and indirect participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </P>

participants to indirect participants and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any legal requirements in effect from time to time. Beneficial owners of
securities may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the security documents. For example,
beneficial owners of securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to beneficial owners. In the alternative, beneficial owners may wish to provide their names and
addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Redemption notices will be sent to DTC or its
nominee. If less than all of the securities of a particular series are being redeemed, DTC&#146;s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in such issue to be redeemed. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In any case where a vote may be required with respect to securities of a particular series, neither DTC nor Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (nor any other
DTC nominee) will give consents for or vote the global securities, unless authorized by a direct participant in accordance with DTC&#146;s procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC will send an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the
record date. The omnibus proxy assigns the consenting or voting rights of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities of such series are credited on the record date identified in a listing attached to the
omnibus proxy. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Principal and interest payments on the securities will be made to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other nominee as may be
requested by authorized representative of DTC. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit direct participants&#146; accounts upon receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us or the paying agent in accordance with their respective holdings
shown on DTC&#146;s records. Payments by direct and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or
registered in &#147;street name.&#148; Those payments will be the responsibility of participants and not of DTC, the paying agent or us, subject to any legal requirements in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to
Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (or such other nominee as may otherwise be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is our responsibility, disbursement of payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC and disbursement of payments to the
beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except under the limited circumstances described below,
purchasers of securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names and will not receive physical delivery of securities. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and its participants to exercise
any rights under the securities and the applicable indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of
securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Those laws may impair the ability to transfer or pledge beneficial interests in securities. </P>

Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, certificates representing the securities are required to be printed and delivered. Also, we may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only
transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository), in which event, certificates representing the securities will be printed and delivered to DTC. </P>
